News

Hey guys, so I know we haven't even fit the first Lazer Team mark, but I figured we should also see who is also going to the theatrical releases of the movie this weekend. More information on the different locations and theaters can be found in Caleb's post here:

So last night, a few of us were getting ready to start the King's Fall raid in Destiny. I was checking a few things out on the RT group page while we were getting people added to the fire team. While scrolling through the page, I looked up to see if people had been added. When I looked back down, my finger was accidentally on the "Leave Group" button. "Uh oh," was all anyone else heard in the party chat. I left the group... and I was the only admin. "I'm a f**king idiot" were my next words.

Long story short, RT Florida was without an admin for 6 hours last night.... my bad. However, thanks to the site admins, both Victoria and I are now admins. Dodged a bullet for sure. Lol :)

During you screening, be sure to take a picture with everyone and tag us either on Facebook or Twitter. It's always great to see all the fans together in one area. We'll be doing the same! It really shows how large of a group we are, so snap a pic and tweet at us @RT_Florida(link to https://twitter.com/rt_florida)

A few places are even doing get togethers before and after the screenings. Want to promote yours? Let us know and we'll help reach RT Florida fans everywhere! There are already forums set up in the group for different screenings, so check them out and see what your area has planned. Don't see a forum for your screening? Make one and set something up with the other fans.

If you haven't already seen, the AHWU opener we made at the Orlando meet up was chosen for AHWU #299! As Victoria pointed out on her facebook post, our coolness has been recognized by the AH crew! Mad props to all you guys for being awesome and making this group freaking legit.

In Rooster Rumble news, we lost our last match against the RT fans from down under in GTA V making our final record 1-4. This may or may not have been due to someone's inability to land a helicopter... but he wants everyone to know that he's sorry and that he's working on it (it may or may not be me...maybe). I'm not sure when the next Rooster Rumble will be, but until then, let's keep the group gaming sessions coming! There have been talks of having one this Friday in Minecraft on the XBONE to start the RT_Florida world. so keep your eyes open for updates from our social media accounts.

Everyone is welcome to participate! We also use this sheet for our group gaming sessions, so feel free to add yourself, even if you don't want to take part in RR.

Also, head over to the RR round 5 thread to discuss what kind of games we should compete in and talk smack about how much better Florida is than Australia (search your feelings, you know it to be true).

I hope you all are enjoying your holiday season. I just wanted to post a quick update on round 5 of Rooster Rumble before the holidays are in full swing. After talking with the wonderful folks over at Roo Teeth, it looks like we are going to try and have our match on Friday, January 8th (Saturday morning for them). We haven't agreed on a game yet, but I suggested GTA V. If you haven't already, please fill out your availability on the google spreadsheet and include your gamertag and other pertinent info. This competition is open to any member of RT Florida regardless of whether or not you've participated in any previous event. Feel free to sign up!!

Finally, if you didn't hear, we have a new forum for setting up group gaming events! Our most recent one was this past Sunday and it was freaking awesome! You can check out Victoria's recording from the RT Florida twitch account here.

First off, thank you for coming. We had a huge turnout, and that was amazing, way more people than I expected (which was great), and everyone seemed to have a blast. Needless to say we will have more of these in the future.

After speaking with the rest of the people at the group, it seems like our next get together will be during the Lazer Team screening. While this will most likely be for people going to the Universal screening, we encourage you guys to host your own get together before, during, or after the movie and tag us. We had lots of great photos and quotes from tonight, and apparently a new tagline "Giving birth." If you missed anything, check out our Twitter page for a quick, and quite frankly, disturbing recap of the event last night @RT_Florida(https://twitter.com/rt_florida).

There was also a lot of suggestions saying that we should have some sort of convenient place to put people's gamertags for when we want to do game nights or just a buddy to kill stuff with. Well, lucky for you guys we already have that for your right here:

This is where we put all of our information, dates, and availability for the Rooster Rumble matches. However, it can also be used as a general information sheet for people just looking to game. Fill it out with your site username, gamertag, and other various game information, and you now have a convenient location where you're able to find all the fireteam, party, or co-op buddies you need.

Also, if you haven't heard about the Rooster Rumble events we're taking part in, check out Will's previous post here(http://roosterteeth.com/post/51189321) and sign up if you're interested. Leave your input on what game you'd like to play, and we will gladly include you in our ranks.

So again, thank you to everyone that came out. We appreciate the support and had a great time, and definitely hope to interact with you guys more often, in person and through online gaming sessions.

Our first meetup is only a few days away and we're making this post for a summary of everything to expect. Convenient, right?

Date:DECEMBER 13

Time:6:00 PM - WHENEVER

Location: THE CLOAK AND BLASTER PUB - Located in the Shoppes at Waterford Place Plaza

875 Woodbury Rd, Ste 108

Orlando, Florida 32828

A few important notes...

Shirts: Everyone who replied to the previous event post will receive their shirts at no cost. This is coming out of our pockets to give you guys a piece of memorabilia to commemorate how awesome it will be. Anyone who would like to buy a shirt, whether you couldn't make it, or because you'd like another one, or whatever, you can absolutely do so. Shirts are $10 a piece, just contact either myself or Will and we'll hook you up.

Cost/Donations: This has come up a bit. Any reservation fee for the event is being covered and the shirts, as mentioned above, are at no cost to attendees, so the only things you need to worry about buying are food and drinks. This being said, if anyone did want to donate any money to the group, it'll all be put towards future events, contests, and giveaways for out little sub-community.

Availability: We are not renting out any part of the location, so it will be a first come first serve type of deal. However, because the event starts at 6:00 pm when the pub opens, we pretty much have first dibs, though that doesn't mean other people might join later. Though, this place isn't usually packed so we'll be fine.

Upstairs Lounge: This works in two ways- There are a few couches with open seating, and then there’s console space. Food will be more than welcomed upstairs; our server for Sunday will be Collin who will take the food and drink orders. Because he will be dealing with nearly 15 people, please be nice and be sure to tip him something at least.

Games and Consoles: Cloak and Blaster has a library with Wii U and Xbox One consoles for their customers to use, but they also have a policy regarding playing time everyone should be aware of. They require $5 per half hour, however, because we're such an awesome group, we are covering this fee for the time that our group will be there. Also, they do not allow any personal games, so please do not bring any of your own. They also have a collection of tabletop games for everyone to play, but these will be first-come, first-serve as the night goes on.

We would love for people to film and photograph the event to have to help promote the group and future events. If you do record anything that you would like to share, let either Will or myself know, as well as any questions you may have in general.

In a sad turn of events, The Laddies of RT decided to withdraw from the Rooster Rumble competition. However, this means RT Florida has secured it's first "victory" in the RR competition! Hopefully this means there will be more victories in the future. ;)

RT Florida: 1-3

Looking ahead, we are challenging the awesome people of RooTeeth! As the visitors, it will be our duty to challenge them to a game and pick a set of potential dates to have the competition on. If you have not already, please fill out your availability on the google spreadsheet and include your gamertag and other pertinent info. This competition is open to any member of RT Florida regardless of whether or not you've participated in any previous event. Feel free to sign up!!

Okay everyone. Based on people's availability, it looks like we're doing this thing Sunday the 13th at 6pm. Surprisingly, that was the day everyone was free (or at least able to get free). So, it'll be at the Cloak & Blaster Pub in East Orlando, right by the 408 behind Waterford Lakes. Address is below.

This is the important bit, I'll contact the owners and reserve our event so there aren't any issues, but for that we need to know how many people are coming. So, please let us know if you can make it. If you are 100% sure, great! Post it in the comments below. If you are pretty sure but you need to get off work, or ask parents, or something, let us know that is your situation so we can include you as well (we'd much rather be over on our party number than under). And if you can't make it, well, we'll miss seeing you there, but wish us a good luck in the comments if you'd like.

We are making this happen!

It will be buy your own food and drink as the night goes on, however, we are making shirts to commemorate this first meet up for RT Florida. You can put your sizes along with your responses or send me a direct message @ArnettV and I'll be sure to get them made. Sizing will be the same as the Rooster Teeth store, you can find the chart here (Note: shirts are men's top size so use that section if you are having trouble deciding on what size).

I know most of you are good at responding in the first day or two after these posts are made, but because the meet up is only two weeks away however, please try to get your responses in as soon as possible (for event availability and sizes) so I don't need to do a rush order. If for some reason you posted too late and we couldn't get a shirt for you, sorry, but we'll try to get one to you eventually.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! If there are any questions, please let us know.
